FOOD SAFETY AND THE BEAUTY OF FERMENTATION Guidance

Answers raw food, naturally through fermentation, has high counts of good bacteria. In this environment
most pathogens would not survive in. The good bacteria crowds out and prevents the pathogens or
bad bacteria from multiplying — that’s a seriously effective and highly efficient food safety method.

What happens when Answers Pet Food is temperature abused or compromised? What if the food gets
warmer than refrigerated temperatures? The good bacteria multiplies, grows and creates an environment
even more lethal to pathogens, which then causes the pathogenic cells to decrease. Sitting out at room
temperature actually elevates the probiotic count. In fact, Answers Pet Food is the only raw pet food that
ensures protection from production all the way to the bowl and continuing through your pet’s digestion.

STORAGE AND SERVING
Keep frozen. Thaw in refrigerator or at room temperature in protective bowl or on a plate.*
Once thawed, portion food and store in refrigerator, or refreeze for scheduled feeding
convenience. We suggest storing in sealed glass containers.

SAFE HANDLING
Keep raw products separate from other foods. Wash working surfaces, utensils, hands,
and any other items that come in contact with raw product with hot, soapy water.
